The turkey and fixings sure were fine yesterday. The company was finer. Thanks was given for the opportunity to sit down at the unfolded portable table in kitchen of the house my dear wife Karen and I call The Little Bitty and enjoy the company of Daryl, Elisabeth and George for the holiday. You know…
My dear wife Karen texted me a little past noon Tuesday. “SU BB tonight?” I knew the code. Tickets for the Syracuse Orange’s game against Loyola in the Carrier Dome were being offered at Syracuse Media Group? Fast as I could I answered “Tix for us, yes.” And received back “Sec 122 seats 11 and…
There are a lot of folks in Ferguson, Mo., who aren’t likely having a quiet and peaceful Thanksgiving today. The city outside of St. Louis has been in turmoil since Monday night, as the world knows, since it was announced that a grand jury did not charge the policeman who killed teenager Michael Brown. Protesters…
Snow kisses my backyard in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood as we stir on this Thanksgiving morn. It covers the ground and the shed, and hangs on the boughs of those towering pines in the neighbor’s house behind. Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle welcomes the sight and the feel of it. She’s ready for…

I’ve got season tickets to Syracuse University football in the Carrier Dome, and it was not a good season.

Maryland (OK, the win for my alma…

Performers for the ceremony will include Joanne Shenandoah, who’s a member of the Sammys Hall of Fame and a Grammy Award winner;…
You can take the musician out of Syracuse, but you can’t take the Syracuse out of the musician. Mick Fury and his mates in the party country band Midnight Moonshine packed their bags this summer and moved from Central New York to Nashville. And why not? With Fury’s hard-working style and all of their talent,…
I saw the first part of “The Hunger Games” series a year after the fact, on NetFlix. Not on my iPad or phone, thankfully. I watched the blockbuster hit on my living room flat screen. Still, the dystopian story didn’t really win my over. I didn’t gush, and I didn’t rush out to see part…
I stayed up later than usual Friday night and caught Norman Lear chatting with David Letterman on CBS. Man, he looked old. Letterman, not Lear. No, the guest in the porkpie hat look positively dapper as he discussed the the period of TV in which he was the undisputed leader in cutting edge comedy. “All…
